Flight delays are unfortunately common in air travel.
Nate Silver over at FiveThirtyEight has crunched the numbers and determined the magic hour to avoid delays.
Flights scheduled to depart in that window arrived just 8.6 minutes late on average.
Flights leaving before 6, or between 7 and 8, are nearly as good.
After this time, delays start creeping in and compounding upon themselves.
The peak delay topped out at an average 20.7 minutes.
